Wow. That's like an atomic bomb going off. Might as well be a dynamite factory.
They probably won't even find some of the bodies.

Hearing unconfirmed reports of 60+ dead, 200+ injured.

It does make you wonder why they placed it so close to a residential area....or at least it seems like it was close. They're saying that 50-75 homes took damage and they're warning of toxic air. It registered a 2.1 magnitude according to the USGS.

There was an apartment complex right across the street....and a Nursing home IIRC.

The residential area sprung up around the plant, the plant wasn't put in to a res area.

As if that matters.

are you saying that the fertilizer plant should have moved somewhere else once someone built a house close to them?

No, I'm saying city planners should have been smarter....but then again, we are talking about Texass.

Just goes to show you. An industrial accident can be more catastrophic than a terrorist attack.
